Clive Christian Perfume No. 1 Imperial For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. No. 1 Imperial For Men opens with Nutmeg and Thyme, settles into a heart of Allspice, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Clive Christian Perfume's No. 1 Imperial For Men carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a cheap imitation, whilst others will tell you it's the pinnacle of perfumery, bringing joy and compliments. You'll need to try it yourself to see which camp you fall into.

About

Opens with a fleeting, mild citrus kiss, before quickly settling into a prominent musky heart that's rich and almost animalic. A hint of iris-like spice peeks through as it develops, eventually mellowing into a powdery, woody base. It's a complex beast, certainly not for the faint of heart, designed to make a statement.
